Planaria Regeneration in Ideal Temperatures vs. Cold Temperatures Christina Malfas Abstract Planaria are flatworms that live in quiet freshwater bodies. They live in a narrow range of temperatures‚ from 22-24°C. They regenerate asexually‚ specifically through a process called epimorphosis‚ in which they completely regenerate one half of their bodies after splitting themselves in two. The diffusion gradient model assumes that cells in an organism “know” their orientation on that organism due

The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of beetroot cells and amount of pigment released. Apparatus • Corer size 4 • White tile • A Beetroot • Automatic Water Bath • Segregated knife • A thermometer • Stopwatch Method: • First take the white tile and the corer. Then collect a cylinder of beetroot by pushing the corer into the beetroot and withdrawing it. The cylinder remains inside the corer- so push it out with the end of a pencil. • Collect 3 cylinders

of temperature on amylase activity Introduction Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylases are found in almost all plants‚ animals and microorganisms. Large amounts of amylase occur in germinating cereals‚ and in the pancreas and saliva of higher animals. Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between amylase and starch in a range of different reaction temperatures. Hypothesis As the reaction temperature of

There are die-hard fans of Western movies and those who watch Westerns for the action and the great nature scenes and of course those darling horses. There are some Western movies that I like with actors like John Wayne but I was never a real fan. Let’s step back in time to look at a famous cowboy actor named Tom Mix. He died a very strange death on October 12‚ 1940. Mix had was involved in a car accident close to his ranch in Florence‚ Arizona. He was driving his single-seat roadster along a straight

Temperature Effects on Radish (Raphanus sativus) Root Development Abstract Several studies have been conducted to establish how temperature‚ seed germination‚ and root growth are related. Because temperature plays a main role in many growth processes‚ we decided to focus on how it affected root growth. Radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds were chosen due to their ability to produce a distinct bulbous tuber‚ and their relatively short growing time. Three test groups were placed under different temperature

INTRODUCTION Open- and closed-loop transfer functions have certain basic characteristics that permit transient and steady-state analyses of the feedback-controlled system. Five factors of prime importance in feedback-control systems are stability‚ the existence and magnitude of the steady-state error‚ controllability‚ observability‚ and parameter sensitivity. The stability characteristic of a linear time-invariant system is determined from the system’s characteristic equation. Routh’s stability

Casey’s power over his fans is above all others. Casey’s fans will listen to just about anything he says without hesitation. When Casey struck his first out‚ his fans were furious over the fact and yet all he had to do was raise one hand to settle them down. I quote‚"And it’s likely they’d have killed him had not Casey raised his hand‚" and because of this one line‚ you can see that Casey’s power over his fans can stop a whole crowd from ridiculing innocent people. Fans of Casey will absolutely

Abstract: This project looks at how the temperature of an experiment can affect its reaction time. The purpose of this experiment is to determine if dissolving reactions are affected by waters temperature. I believe that if the H2O temperature increases‚ then the Alka-Seltzer tablet will dissolve faster because the hot water molecules will move faster colliding with the tablet particles. Water will be the independent variable due to the fact is will always stay in its same form throughout the
